SAD- IRON SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,411, dated December 14, 1897.

. Application filed March 24, 1897- Serial No. 628,940. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOWARD RENO, of Folsom, in the county of Colfax and Territory of New Mexico, have invented a certain new and Improved Sad-Iron Support, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a support or rest for sad-irons.

The object of the invention is to provide a rest for that class of irons wherein the handle is separable for use upon any one of a number of irons.

The particular object of the invention is to provide a combined handle and support for sad-irons.

My invention consists generally in a sadiron handle provided with an extension which has a base or foot, which latter includes a line dropped from the center of gravity of the iron when the latter is secured on the handle, to the end that the iron will stand upright on said base andbe out of contact with the table or cloth and be separated from the and 3 the handle, which handle is usually of wood. The handle is secured on a metal bar 4, upon which is formed and provided the catch 5, by which the handle is looked upon the irons. At the lower or rear end of the handle-bar 4 is an integral extension 6, and the integral base or foot which flares therefrom is preferably of a triangular form. This base or foot is formed at an obtuse angle with the bar 4, and when the sad-iron 2 is secured on the handle the center of gravity of the iron will be found to be substantially over the center of the foot or base 7. It is obvious that the base may be of any desired form, and, further, that the base could be arranged on an extension from the side of the bar 4, in which case the iron would be turned upon its side with the handle lying in a horizontal plane.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a sad-iron, the combination, of the removable handle, having an integral extension at its rear end, said extension terminating in a flaring or spreading base, forming an obtuse angle with said handle, and alone forming the stand or support for the handle and iron when in an upright position, and separated from the end of the-iron by an airspace, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the sad-iron handle, of a spreading base or foot, serving as a stand for the handle and the iron thereon when upright, said base being arranged on an extension of the lower or rear end of the handle, whereby an air-space is formed between the iron proper and said base to retard the conduction of heat from the former to the latter, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 15th day of March, A. D. 1897.

HOWARD RENO.
